# The Free Market Foundation says it has repeatedly warned that National Health Insurance is unaffordable, unconstitutional, economically destructive, and incompatible with freedom of choice in healthcare. The Constitutional Court has declared Sections 36 to 40 of the NHI Act unconstitutional. These sections relate to a state programme designed to control where healthcare practitioners or practices could operate. The foundation says the growing legal resistance to NHI reflects increasing concern about expanding state control over healthcare, and the long-term consequences for patients, medical professionals, and the economy.
